Linkwarden, an open-source bookmark manager designed to help users collect, organize, and preserve webpages, just dropped its latest version, 2.10, packed with new features.
For anyone new to Linkwarden, the platform provides an all-in-one hub for collecting online resources and collaborating with teammates. It is available as a Cloud subscription for those who prefer a maintenance-free setup or as a self-hosted solution for users who enjoy keeping everything under their own roof.
Perhaps the most eye-catching improvement in this update is the ability to highlight text within saved articles while viewing them in a clean, readable format. This makes it easier to zero in on key insights, which is especially helpful for research projects, long-form reading, or academic pursuits.
In addition to speed improvements, Linkwarden’s search engine now supports advanced operators such as title:, url:, tag:, before:, and after:. These additions are a huge plus for users who manage large collections of bookmarked links, as they can now sift through content with impressive precision.
The new update also gives users more control over preserving their links. Different tags can be configured to trigger automatic archiving or opt out of preservation altogether. As a result, archiving workflows can be tailored to fit individual needs or team preferences without requiring complex manual intervention.
While Linkwarden already offered automated tagging through a local LLM (using Ollama), version 2.10 expands these options by letting users integrate external AI providers, including OpenAI and Anthropic. Offloading resource-intensive AI tasks to a remote service can be a game-changer for those running Linkwarden on lower-end hardware.
The AI tagging feature now supports tagging existing links rather than just adding new ones. It can also automatically categorize links based on their content, making it much simpler to maintain an organized set of bookmarks, even when new content keeps rolling in.
Lastly, Linkwarden 2.10 offers an improved overview of the archiving process for administrators. It is now straightforward to clear old preservations or re-archive any that previously failed, helping keep the system optimized and up to date.
Beyond these major points, the release also includes minor fixes and tweaks. Anyone interested in the full details can consult the changelog. The release announcement is here.
